"The Larger Sieve"

Gallagher's larger sieve is a method in analytic number theory that gives an upper bound on the size of a finite set of integers if there is such a bound when the set is reduced modulo prime powers. After establishing the larger sieve inequality we will see an application due to Gallagher.
